“Code Institute will teach you how to code and then off you go, you’re done. No, it’s more pragmatic, it’s much more real-life than that. There are mentors from the industry with a professional point of view, guiding and shaping the course content as well as student employability.”

“February [2021] was the first course; we launched with 20 participants, and then that increased to around 40 participants every month. So altogether we’ve got over 200 learners on the diploma.”

“We worked in collaboration with Code Institute to develop a regulated qualification that would upskill those already working in a website development role and also offer learners with no previous experience in programming a pathway to employment.”

Director of Business Development, Gateway Qualifications
“The ability to get it off the ground now far outweighs the potential advantages of creating a qualification like this under our own steam, as the resources needed and the time frame involved in developing the platform would be very considerable.”

Andrew Nicholson
Head of Digital Technologies at Newcastle College
“Colleges are deeply embedded in the local community, so they are key in bridging the digital divide and creating the skilled workforce local employers are looking for.”

“It’s our job to open doors and we do that with weekly careers webinars where our hiring partners tell learners what the industry is looking for. This is a great opportunity for our students because these companies are recruiting directly.”
